Error Failed to Initialize player
When attempting to run the game on steam I get the following error:
Failed to Initialize Player
Failed to initialize Direct3D.
Make sure you have at least DirectX 9.0c installed, have drivers for your
graphics card and have not disabled 3D acceleration
in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed
I'm running Windows 10 64bit on an alienware laptop with an nVidia 860M graphics card. The drivers are the latest available.
I've attached my dxdiag as well as the output log DxDiag.txt output file
I've attempted the following:
Validated local files
confirmed executables running in windows 7 compatability mode
ran game as administrator
Validated latest version of .net is installed
confirmed latest version of Direct X is installed
Game Version:
Steam Public
Platform:
Windows
Hello Daniel,
Might it be you have a notebook with switchable graphics: an integrated intel graphics device + dedicated GeForce GTX 860M?
It could be that the game gets assigned to the integrated graphics which is unable to hande the game.
It is either that or the graphics driver is not installed correctly.
Can you try the solutions suggested in this knowledge base article:

If it doesn't help, can you try to fully uninstall and reinstall your grpahics drivers?
Let us know how it went.
